About This Book

The work traces the development of the English Church from its early missionary foundations and local reorganizations through periods of collapse, reform, and external influence; it examines administrative structures such as dioceses, parishes, and monastic and clerical institutions, responses to invasions and revival movements, the effects of the Norman settlement and the expansion of papal claims, recurring struggles over investitures and clerical privileges, fiscal and legal tensions between ecclesiastical and royal authority, and the legislative and parliamentary reactions that sought to curb foreign ecclesiastical control, concluding with the ferment that preceded late medieval criticism of church abuses.
